The early years of Clemson football under coach Dabo Swinney were an exciting time—after years of underachievement, one of the ACC’s cornerstone programs finally felt urgent again. Orange Bowl trips in 2011 and ‘13 turned into a national championship berth in ’15, and the rest is history.
Now, with the Tigers' fortunes flagging in 2026, Swinney is reportedly bringing back a linchpin of that era. Clemson is hiring former offensive coordinator Chad Morris to his old position, according to a Saturday afternoon report from ESPN's Pete Thamel (as first reported by On3’s Larry Williams).
